Back to Europe

In January, my best friend and I rang in the New Year in Brussels, Belgium

Grand Place, Brussels, Belgium

I spent the next twenty six days touring Germany,

Neuschwanstein Castle, Schwangau, Germany

the Netherlands,

Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Austria...

standing in Germany, looking back at Austria

and France.

Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, France

Never before had my world felt so big, my possibilities so limitless.

somewhere over Belgium

Oh, what a difference three months makes! 

Almost overnight, my life has become very, very small. I'm not riding anymore, and I haven't left the house in days. I'm distracted, anxious and restless. I wish I could hole up in my studio and make a saddle, but I just don't have the bandwidth. Maybe next week.

Sorry, staying at home is all the community duty I can handle right now

In the meantime, I'm editing photos. 

the Atomium, Brussels, Belgium

Specifically, I'm editing my Europe photos. 

Schwangau, Germany

They remind me of better times.

Hohenzollern Castle, Bisingen, Germany

They remind me that the world is still out there, waiting to be discovered.

near the Germany/Austria border

Or maybe not.

The Catacombs of Paris, Paris, France

Either way, they're going to start hitting this blog very soon. 

Amsterdam, the Netherlands

I may be stuck at home, but the Braymere blog is going back to Europe!
